Description:The ERC will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year and is therefore organizing the “ERC Week” from 13-18 March 2017, during which national authorities and research institutions in Europe are engaged in various activities: talks, conferences, open days and other events, thereby involving the public and research community, and supporting the work of the ERC.
With well over 30 ERC life science grantholders in Heidelberg, CellNetworks is engaging in these activities with an informal ERC Evening Celebration on Monday 13 March 2017 at 6 pm in Ute Greenier Hall (BioQuant). The aim is to promote the fascination of our life science research across all institutions in Heidelberg (University, EMBL, DKFZ and MPI) in the form of a “professorium” or science match. During their 5-minute talks, 17 current ERC grantholders will give short insights into the central questions of their research. The event will be framed with light snacks and drinks to foster discussions and exchange.
